As Brone struggles to cope with the abduction of her friend, she begins to realize that enemies exist not only beyond the Village’s walls.

The year is 2087, and the federal government has implemented a new sentence for criminal convictions—banishment to a remote island. When Lydia Brone is wrongly convicted of murder, she is sentenced to three years on Kormace Island. She must forget all she’s ever heard about life in prison and develop the necessary skills to survive in the wild and defend herself against savage enemies.
